Placer sheriff: Deputies interrupt burglary in progress

By Bee Staff

Placer County Sheriff's deputies stopped a residential burglary in-progress as one of the burglars walked out of a Colfax home carrying stolen goods, according to Sheriff's Department release.

The release outlined this chain of events:

At 10:50 a.m. Monday, a witness called 911 to report that two men had just kicked in the front door of a home on West Oak Street.

When deputies arrived minutes later, they said Sean Michael Emmons (photo bottom left), 19, who has no fixed address, walked out of the home's front door carrying jewelry and other items.

At the same time, workers from a business behind the home had called 911 to report that two men were loading items into a blue Chevy Trailblazer.

The workers wrote down the vehicle's license plate number, which deputies broadcasted to all patrol officers.

Shortly after that broadcast, a deputy saw the Trailblazer speeding along westbound Interstate 80 near Dry Creek Road.

The driver, Paul Lopez Zazueta (photo bottom right), 18, of Sacramento, was in possession of a television, a snowboard, clothing and a bicycle later found to belong to the residents of the West Oak Street home, the release states.

Both suspects are being held at the Placer County Jail in Auburn on burglary and conspiracy charges, the release states. Bail is set at $50,000 each.
